Villager of Daming

Chapter 127 Li Chengzhuan Palace Emperor Yi (Second Change)
On April [-]th, the second quarter of Yinchu, the villagers woke up one after another, and the head of the village asked the people from Fuhualou to provide a bucket for bathing and boil water first.

Everyone went to the latrine, came back to brush their teeth and ate, porridge, small cakes, pickles, tea eggs.

After dinner, the bath water was boiled, and everyone took a bath, changed into new clothes and shoes, and brushed their teeth again.

At the beginning of Mao, the main reason is that the long hair dries slowly, so I rub it with a few towels.

Look at the sky, it's about to dawn, and the summer dawns early.

The shopkeeper of Fuhua Building woke up and asked, "What are you going to do? The street is closed outside, and His Royal Highness is accepting concubines today."

"That's right! It's the west side of the street in front of our restaurant, Changfu. We'll wait outside the restaurant. When His Royal Highness's team comes over, we'll follow behind."

The head of the village nodded, yes, and we live next to each other, opposite to the west side of the road, Changfu faces south.

The twenty guards in charge of protection have left, and another soldier will enter the Fuhua Building to occupy the position across the street from the window.

"How do you go? Your Highness the Crown Prince, concubine, do you still want to watch the ceremony..." the shopkeeper stopped talking.

He thought carefully about the relationship between the other party and the palace, and then looked at the festive new clothes and another set of jewelry that the other party put on today, it seemed...

"It's to watch the ceremony. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince invited us here. We have to stay for a few days, waiting for the banquet. Zhu Taiyi, are you here?"

The head of the village told the shopkeeper very honestly that when he looked up, he saw four people including Zhu Taiyi coming. The four people also changed into new clothes and held signs in their hands.

They came to bring people from Xiaqiu Village into the team. At this time, the entire road was heavily guarded.

This was called Changfu Street in Zhu Wentian's time, crossing the bridge to the east was Xihua Gate, and to the west was Dayuan Xing Yongshou Palace, which was strolled the day before yesterday.

The location of Fuhua Building is the most suitable. If you prepare a few hundred catties of nitroglycerin in advance, when the prince's team arrives nearby...

"The shopkeeper, let's go first, come back for dinner tonight, it's better to have some soup." The head of the village said hello, and went out with Zhu Taiyi and the others.

The shopkeeper was stunned for a long time before returning to his senses. He patted his forehead and said, "Oh! You have such a big background? Thanks to the thoughtful care."

He was afraid for a while, the prince accepts the concubine, there is a fixed team, if you say you can add people, you can add people?
The four of Zhu Taiyi led 32 people to clarify the identity issue first, and then they went back to the yard to find a stool for the village elders to sit on.

His Royal Highness still has a long time to come, and there is still a ceremony going on there.

The people in the village must go out first to let the guards know them, and then they can no longer leave their field of vision. What if they need to assassinate someone else?

This wait is an hour, the team arrives, it is very lively, when the people in front pass by, the people from the village enter the team and go to Changfu together.

The princess got dressed and waited outside her attic, no one stopped her.

The process continued, the prince went over, and it was another set of etiquette to talk to the mother of the princess.

After this set is over, it will take another hour to pick up the kiss, and the team will go back, and it will be long before noon.

However, the people from Xiaqiu Village entered the imperial city, and followed the team, and no one stopped them.

All the way to the prince's mansion, the prince made a bow, invited the princess to enter, and performed the wedding ceremony. This ceremony is also a bunch, and this etiquette is the same as that used by the queen and the emperor.

Next, they changed into regular clothes, and the two sides gave each other cooked food. Yes, they had eaten.

The people in Xiaqiu Village are hungry now, and they didn't go in to see people changing clothes and eating, they just stood outside the Spring Harmony Palace.

"Everyone come with us." Mrs. Zhu greeted.

The team walked back, and as they walked, they entered a large hall with the words 'Wuyingdian' on it.

"Wuying Hall? Is it the place where His Majesty usually finds his ministers to deal with affairs?"

After the little girl looked up to read the words, she remembered the situation introduced by Brother Hanhan.

"Don't make a sound." The chief turned around and reminded.

Everyone went in without a body search, and there was a man standing in front of him with his hands behind his back, looking at everyone with a smile on his face.

"Your Majesty!" Zhu Taiyi and the four immediately knelt down.

Puff tom puff tom...

The 32 people in Xiaqiu Village also knelt down and shouted one after another: "Your Majesty."

After shouting, everyone is in order, and then shout together: "Tianfu Youde, Haiyu Xianning, Shenggong Wanfu."

It's mixed with 'hey hey hey...'

"Okay, okay, get up, this is our hanhan, right? Hehehe!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at a boy with a silly face and said one word "hey" and he knew who it was, the village guard of Xiaqiu Village, silly!
"Well, Hanhan, I, hehehehe!" Zhu Wentian continued to laugh.

"That's right, it's really well raised! Take a seat quickly, we know you're hungry, so we'll eat here."

Next to it, a maid of honor brought basins, towels and soap, and everyone washed their hands and cleansed their faces.

There are 33 tables for meals, separated, with a stool behind each.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat down first, and then everyone sat down, and the maids served the dishes.

"I don't know what you like to eat. The imperial doctor of the imperial hospital said that you should drink soup first when you are hungry for a long time, so I made duck and carrot soup.

In addition, the villagers in our village are old, and they prepare a cup of medicinal wine, soaked in deer antler and ginseng.

The rest are also recipes given by our Xiaqiu Village, I think everyone would like to eat them. "

Zhu Yuanzhang spoke with a smile on his face, appearing very kind and close to the people.

While talking, he observed the 32 people carefully, first looked at the chief, then glanced at Hanhan and then skipped it.

Others include fifteen or sixteen-year-olds, as well as younger children, the village chief's wife, and village elders.

The village elder looked carefully, but didn't see anything, so worried!

"Your Majesty thought of our taste and habits for giving the banquet. The grass people are very grateful." Li Chang stood up and replied.

"Sit down, you don't need to get up to talk." Zhu Yuanzhang pressed his hands down.

"Yes!" The Lieutenant then sat down again. According to the etiquette, if you meet His Majesty and His Majesty asks questions, you should bow when standing, and stand up and bow when you answer His Majesty's questions while sitting.

At this time, musicians came in to join in the music, the sound was not loud, and some people were dancing in the middle of the hall.

In order not to stand in the cold, otherwise when eating with the emperor, the emperor would not make a sound, and everyone would not dare to speak. When the emperor spoke, everyone else would stop.

Some people played and danced, and they whispered to others. When the emperor didn't ask questions about himself, it didn't hurt to eat by himself.

Everyone is watching the dancers, who will stare at you to eat or not?
"Drink the soup, and then drink the medicinal wine." Zhu Yuanzhang told several village elders that he would drink the soup first.

The village elders are nervous, the emperor, this is not fierce at all, after drinking the soup, I am indeed thirsty, if it is not for the sneaky rock sugar, I will faint from thirst.

After a few sips of soup, they felt much more comfortable. They drank the medicinal wine with their heads up, and then drank the soup.

The children also observe the etiquette, do not scratch, shut up when eating or chewing, usually no one cares, try to control it today.

Each of them also painted light makeup, festive, and Zhu Wentian's face was powdered.

Zhu Yuanzhang is happy, this is the people of Daming village, it would be great if all the villages of Daming were like this!

"Yichang, how is the rice and jute planting in Xiaqiu Village going?" Zhu Yuanzhang waited for everyone to eat a few bites before talking to the village chief.
